you mean the car that is ending production in '17...again?

I love the Viper too, raw and visceral...but in '18 it will have come and gone ... and the new mid engine corvette will be a game changer...

Corvettes are everywhere because they look so killer and offer way more

The Viper ending production means it will only gain in value.

Nobody knows for sure. No way to comment until we see the real deal.

And it lowers the value.

Easily explained. The masses no longer can afford the Viper- America's only true Supercar. Our culture is changing as young people today enjoy texting and playing on their mobile phones. The Prius is what they want now, and bad money management, kids, debt, etc. Sad to see the end of this legend but experts say it will come back better than ever. I hope it does.

Ok, so it's not in my driveway yet, but these were taken by the current owner. I've been waiting since the Z/28 was announced to get one of these things. I'm leaving bright and early tomorrow morning (3.5 hour drive)......should be back in my garage by tomorrow late afternoon. I'll post additional pics! I'm like a kid at Christmas! Wickerbill is already on, which is a huge plus! The only thing we're going to do before I drive back is add Z/28 rock guards......don't want to get rock chips all over the rear before she's even broken in......

Sometimes a squirrel finds a nut.....I'll share the story about how this car came about after I get it home.....I'm very, very lucky to find such a perfect car with such low miles in the color I want.

Stephen12ZL1 · 03-12-2017, 08:41 PM

oh yes...you have to love AGM!

serviceguy · 03-12-2017, 10:08 PM

That's one sweet ride! Congrats on such a great find!

Raven87 · 03-13-2017, 10:32 AM

Congratulations! I love the AGM and how much easier you can see the accents versus the black that I have.

They are a monster so I know you will absolutely enjoy the drive back.

rcandiloro · 03-13-2017, 08:07 PM

Got up at 3am.....finally home. Cleaned her up. Not the best pics.....

Quick story about how I got this car. Bottom line it was through this forum. The previous owner doesn't come on too much, but he happened to be on and saw my post looking feverishly for a Z/28. He wasn't really planning to sell his car, but he has several and thought "What the heck I'll give this guy a call since he's in CA." It turned out to be the car I wanted. When I posted what I wanted I put White, Red or Silver....totally forgot about AGM, even though it's my favorite color. It's a perfect, brand new car and I couldn't be happier. Now I understand what all the hype is about. What an amazing vehicle! So glad to be part of the club now!

karve · 03-13-2017, 08:11 PM

Glad to hear it all worked out in your favor. Enjoy your new ride...she's a beauty! Love the AGM

The 14/15' Z/28 is the Collector Camaro to own today. Albeit America's only true Supercar, the Viper is ending soon. Corvettes are everywhere, values always go down. If you got the Flow, ok buy a Ferrari or Lamborghini, otherwise you can't go wrong with America's #1 Muscle Car. The Mustang is/was always overrated. Add a few mods to your Z and she is over 600 horsepower. The Z/28 in Europe is the ultimate American exotic. Enjoy!
